This photographic essay focuses on a theme that at first sight could seem preposterous. A series of photographs of men in seven South American countries stripped of their clothes and surprised in their own worlds. Deprived of all that covers them and surrounded by what little protects them. Their story lies in the way they expose themselves to the camera, showing their fears, their desires, while the other half of their lives is revealed in the scenery behind them.

This essay aims to be a fresco of the way some South American people face life, and certain ways of being, working and hoping that exist today in this vast region.
